Compost doesn’t freeze. The bacteria breakdown in a compost pile like the one we had for years keeps it “cooking,” and if you dig into the pile to add some more kitchen scraps (no meat, no grease), you’ll have steam rising from the pile. Our pile was like an apartment house for mice and others that tunneled through the sides to find a nice warm place to winter.
